At Eco Dive Grenada, we offer two initial PADI dive certifications for new divers, each with different durations:

  1. PADI ‘Scuba Diver’ Course: This is the first certification level for new divers and takes approximately 2 days to complete. It is a shortened version of the full PADI ‘Open Water Diver’ Course and includes dive theory with review and assessments, confined water (pool) training, and open water (ocean) training dives. Upon completion, divers are certified to dive anywhere in the world with a dive professional to a depth of 12m (40ft). This course is ideal for holiday divers who want to enjoy shallow dives or for Junior Divers (ages 10 through 14) as a stepping stone towards the full certification.
  2. PADI ‘Open Water Diver’ Course: This is the first full scuba certification level and is taught by our highly-trained PADI Instructors in a relaxed, supportive learning environment. By the end of the course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge to dive independently at home or abroad and be an ambassador for the underwater world.

Both courses can be shortened by completing the theory portion online. Ask us how you can get started online, at our dive shop, or both!
